Re: [Chrysler300] Disc brake conversation

[Mark Souders <MRS954@xxxxxxx>]

I agree with Charlie. I installed the AAJ brake conversion on my 300H several years ago and have no issues with it. Unlike my original drum brakes, each time I hit the brake pedal, the car stops right now and straight. Easy to install with understandable instructions. I bought the basic set to save on shipping, and the loaded calipers and discs were purchased from my local NAPA store. Niels, since you are in Europe it might be better for you to buy the complete set from AAJ if the discs and calipers are difficult to find over there. The discs are from a 76 Dodge Charger and the calipers are from a mid-seventies Chevy Monte Carlo. I did lose a little sleep knowing I had Chevy parts on my Chrysler, but after driving the car with the new discs, it was well worth it. I can stop on a dime and get a nickel change.

Happy Moparing,

I did the AAJ Disc Brake conversion , about 5 years ago , on my 1962 300 Sport 
onvertible.
 did it myself, very easy to do, and I have not had any problems whatsoever.

 do not know if this is the Best one or the Easiest one, like you asked but can 
ot imagine a kit thats better or easier to install. Just my opinion and others 
ay reply with what worked for them.

ye and happy 300'ing

Neils,
Check out these 2 web sites - they are both Aaj brake info sites. I think this 
s the easiest and
heapest way to go. I’ve talked to a few people who have done this conversion 
nd they seemed
ery pleased. Charlie in Ottawa, 62 Sport
